[QUOTE="300win, post: 114798, member: 5965"] TMR, I have two loads for the 162 a max. Both with federal premium brass neck sized and gold medal match mag primers. 81.5 gr of IMR 7828 or RE22 77 gr. The IMR load shows sighns of pressure but consider both loads hot and back off a little first. My barrel is a factory barrel. I have a Mc Millian on order and a 28" barrel. I started out years ago with the 7mm caliber and plan to revisit it again. I plan to try to get the max point blank range for fast shooting on deer and coyotes. With the 120 ballistic tip at 3850 fps I can hold on a deer at 400 yards if zeroed 3" high at 100. I prefer heavier bullets for deer hunting but out to 400 yards the 120's shoud make a mess out of a chest cavity at that velocity. I shot a few coyotes with it last winter useing 120 v max at 3775 fps. It was comparible to shooting a pd with a 308, all you hear is a pop and your partner giggle. Not a real fur saver but great for tournament hunting! Keep us posted. [/QUOTE]
